A string of nine pars in a row was
put to a halt with a bogey on 13 and a double on 16 but a last minute
birdie save meant she signed for a final score of
75 (+1). Mehaffey continues to hold the leading position on a total of
144 (-4).

Welsh
player Chloe Williams, pictured, managed to narrow Olivia’s lead to one shot after
carding a fantastic second round score of 70 (-4). William’s fellow
playing partner Chloe Ryan (Castletroy) carded a lightning round of 72
(-2) to move her into joint third position with
Jessica Ross (Donaghadee) who carded a second round 73 (-1).

Scottish
player Gabrielle MacDonald really shone through on the front nine as
she carded an impressive 33 shots (-4). MacDonald begun birdie, eagle,
eagle, par, birdie; a run of holes not to be forgotten. She finished the
round off on a low note but still recorded
a steady 75 (+1).

Irish
International and recent Munster Senior Champion Valerie Clancy took
the 36 hole clubhouse lead for a short while after shooting a superb 72
(-2). Other low Irish scores came from the Lurgan duo of Niamh McSherry
and Annabel Wilson with scores of 72 and 74
respectively.

Ireland
team A of Olivia Mehaffey, Chloe Ryan and Maria Dunne won the Nations
Cup and were twelve shots clear of nearest competitors, Ireland team B.
